I bought this table at Toys R Us. Unfortunately, Toys R Us does not set up sand and water tables so I could not compare this table to its competitors. Now that we have this table at home, I wish I had bought a different one. No, I won't return it because of the hassle of taking it apart, but this table has several flaws.
On the plus side, the umbrella seems well made and it is sturdy. My kids really like the water/sand wheel too. The cover stays on well to keep the sand covered overnight. On the negative side, the space for water is way too small. It is hard to do anything with the boats. There are no little paths, roads, or bridges. The sand side is spacious, but really, all that can be done with the water side is mix sand and water, which creates a big mess.
Currently, we are filling it only with sand on both sides. Mixing sand and water is a bit of a disaster - a better idea than it sounds since the water and sand do not actually stay segregated. I wish the water side had been more fun because I think it would be nice to keep it with only water at tiems. Or maybe a more fun water side would make pouring sand in the water a bit less appealing. Thus, I wish I had chosen a different table. However, it does the job and my kids like it.

My 2 y.o. son uses only water on both sides b/c we aren't keen on sand. But he enjoys it immensely. Umbrella blocks sun well. Plus, for b/c it's a cart it's much easier for me to move it around (as opposed to a table you have to carry). And the lid really does stay on. So glad we purchased this one and not a standard table.

Right now we only have sand in the table on both sides because I didn't feel like dealing with mud caused by my 16 month old. She LOVES it and when it gets to the warmer months we will switch it over to all water. We put a fifty pound bag of sand in it and I honestly don't see why you would want less in there. The unbrella only stays in there on calm, non-windy days but living in the apartment complex here, all the kids come running to it. It's great, we all love it.
